Does Penny Dreadful live up to its name?

Ie is it dreadful? Cause i tried to watch the first episode, and wished it would be a cool role for Eva Green, but despite their obvious care for the costumes/period settings, the plot is just dirt cheap. It is never a good omen when the first 5 min of a show are already crap. And from then on, till around 15 min (all i could stand to watch) it was becoming even worse. When one of the main characters was nearing certain death but instead was carefull thrown to the side by the monster, cause he is one of the main characters, i decided i should just stop watching more of it.

-What is your view of the eponymous tv series?

Also worth noting of course that this is only the second time i stopped watching a movie/series at or before 15 min, when it has Eva Green as a lead. The other was obviously that disgraceful sequel to 300 :(
 
I saw two episodes. It reminded me of that Matt Damon movie Elysium.
